Report Kobo Aura Quantities

Effective February 1, 2014 the original Kobo Aura moved to a new permanent price point of $139.99.

In order to be eligible for the price protection rebate ($9.50 per unit), stores must report their in-stock quantities by April 1, 2014. A printout from the store POS system is best but if that is not available, booksellers should create a spreadsheet of items in stock as of February 1, 2014, and upload the supporting documentation directly through the Kobo Reporting Tool [10].
